Karl Marx vs. Karl Marx

Karl Marx vs. Karl Marx On class “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” On firearms “Under no pretext shall arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.” Why would you even need an ASSAULT RIFLE? They are only useful for mass shooters! On identity politics “A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.” Um, sweaty, why does YOUR revolution have to be before MY revolution? Oh my sweet summer child... On transgender issues —— Trans rights! UwU On religion “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people” Islam? Bad? You're literally a white supremacist fascist. Regards, a buddhist On free speech “You cannot enjoy the advantages of a free press without putting up with its inconveniences.” If we don't censor everything, the nazis will kill us all!

Двухпанельный мем сравнивает классический чёрно-белый портрет Карла Маркса с ярко раскрашенной психоделической версией «Карла Маркса» и сопоставляет цитаты Маркса с современными интернет-репликами. Шутка высмеивает политическую непоследовательность и противоречия между радикальными взглядами на классы, оружие, идентичность, религию и свободу слова. Мем используют как реакцию на лицемерные, поверхностные или внутренне противоречивые политические аргументы. EN: This two-panel meme compares a classic black-and-white portrait of Karl Marx with a brightly colored psychedelic version of “Karl Marx,” pairing Marx quotations with modern internet replies. The joke mocks political inconsistency and contradictions in radical views about class, firearms, identity, religion, and free speech. It is used as a reaction to hypocritical, shallow, or internally contradictory political arguments.
